I am new to all this. I was thinking to get started with The Elements of Computing Systems by Nisan/Schocken. Is Project Oberon something entirely different? If not, how do they compare?

Oberon is an already-built system designed by Niklaus Wirth, one of the giants of the field. The goal of Elements of Computing Systems is to have you build a more limited but still functional system yourself, so get busy!
